This gene is a member of the following regulons

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU22960

Expression

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • The gene is cryptic. If gudB is activated (gudB1 mutation), the bacteria are able to utilize glutamate as the only carbon source. PubMed
  • A rocG gudB mutant is sensitive to ß-lactam antibiotics such as cefuroxime and to fosfomycin due to the downregulation of the SigW regulon PubMed
  • transcription profile of a rocG gudB mutant strain: GEO PubMed

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

Your additional remarks

The GudB protein is active in other legacy B. subtilis strains (e.g. strain 122). Thus, it can be speculated that the ancestral gudB gene was not cryptic, but became so as a product of the "domestication" of B. subtilis 168 in the lab. PubMed
